What do the pillars Jachin and Boaz represent in the context of King Solomon's Temple?

The pillars Jachin and Boaz, which stood at the entrance of King Solomon's Temple, symbolize significant concepts in Masonic tradition. Jachin, which means 'He shall establish,' represents establishment and stability, while Boaz, meaning 'In strength,' signifies strength. Together, they convey the idea that 'In strength shall this house be established'.

These pillars also serve as reminders of the divine support promised to the people of Israel, with Jachin associated with God's establishment of His house and Boaz representing strength. Furthermore, they are seen as emblematic of the duality of existence, representing the balance between spirit and matter, and the laws of karma and dharma .
